Very true.
To me though HP does help sell cars.. You can say people who buy mustangs dont buy vettes.. But thats not true. I have a Vette, F-body, and Stang. A lot of the people in the Corvette club have Mustangs and Vettes. I hate to say it but when you think of american sports cars you think of the Corvette and the Mustang as the 2 all time american sports cars. I love my f-body but they really got hurt from 2002-2009 when they were not making the Camaro, and they are still hurt because a lot of the Firebird owners dont want a Camaro.
I am sorry for going off on a different topic, and I am not trying to start any kind of crap, just explaining why I compare the GT500-to the Vette. I understand that the Corvette is a world class supercar but the GT500 and the ZL1 are turning into that as well. Look at the fastest laps @ the Nurenburg ( I suck at spelling), and I believe the ZL1 is up on that list now in the top 25 for production cars! These straightline cars can do a whole lot more nowadays for a lot cheaper then a c7 Z06.
